Principal's Page

The Swanson staff is dedicated to our mission of Empowering students with the skills and character to succeed. This year, our focus (to help us live our mission) is to develop more problem-based and personalized learning opportunities for students. You'll see our staff wearing their "Find Your Own Path" shirts on Mondays to promote this year's focus.

Welcome COLTS! I'm Kristina Carothers, Swanson's principal. I am proud of our dedicated and competent staff and the initiatives we've put in place to meet the wide-range of students we serve. Swanson is a unique school offering many programs you wouldn't find at your typical neighborhood school. Problem based and personalized learning, 1:1 devices for K-5 students, a strong wellness program including 7 Mindsets, as well as numerous interventions and enrichment opportunities make Swanson a destination for families wanting more out of their child's public school experience. If you have any questions, concerns or celebrations about the amazing things going on at Swanson, please don't hesitate to be in touch. I'm looking forward to a fantastic 2018-19 school year!
